11/3/10 Setting
And Then There Were None takes place in the 1920s or 1930s mainly on Indian Island.
Chapter 1
Ten people have been invited to Indian Island.
Most of the people arrived by train in Sticklehaven, and then they all took a boat to Indian Island.
Chapter 2
Vera and Mr. Blore notice the poem "Ten Little Indians" hanging on the wall in their rooms.
Dr. Armstrong thought it was odd how there was no host at the island.
Chapter 3
The group notices the ten china figures in the middle of the table.
The group hears a mechanical voice undefined voice which accused each of the ten people of a murder.
Wargrave thinks that U.N. Owen stands for unknown.
Chapter 4
The guests on the island start to defend themselves from the accusations of the undefined voice.
Tony Marston chokes on whiskey and soda and dies.
Chapter 5
Dr. Armstrong finds that Tony Marston's drink was poisoned.
The group thinks he committed suicide because some people saw Tony pour his own drink.
Vera notices that in the poem, it says that one of the Indians choked (which was Tony).
Chapter 6
Mrs. Rogers dies in her sleep.
Mr. Rogers points out to Dr. Armstrong that there is now only eight china figures.
Excellent job, Bryce. Shows you have a good grasp on the major events in the novel! Mrs. M
Chapter 7
Armstrong and Lombard discuss how Mrs. Rogers might have died.
Armstrong and Lombard notice that the poem corresponds to the deaths of Marston and Mrs. Rogers.
Armstrong, Lombard, and Blore think that U.N. Owen is the murderer.
Chapter 8
Blore and Armstrong find out that that Lombard has a revolver.
Armstrong, Lombard, and Blore search for Mr. Owen, but have no luck in finding him or her.
They think that there is no one else on the island except the guests.
Chapter 9
Armstrong runs in the door while the others are having lunch to say that Macarthur has died.
Wargrave thinks that the murderer is one of the guests.
Chapter 10
Lombard and Vera talk and they tell each other that they do not suspect each other to be the murderer.
Rogers notices that the scarlet colored curtain in the bathroom is missing.
Chapter 11
Mr. Rogers is found dead in the woodshed.
He was hit in the back of the head with an axe.
Chapter 12
Emily is left alone at the table.
She sees a bee buzzing near the window and she notices someone is behind her.
Someone put poison in Emily's neck, which made her die, through a needle.
Chapter 13
Vera walks into her room to fall asleep when she smells the sea and she feels what she thought was a hand.
When the group was helping Vera after she fainted from the seaweed, they notice that the judge is gone.
They find the judge downstairs dead on a chair wearing the scarlet curtain and a judge wig.
There was a bullet in his head under the wig.
Chapter 14
Lombard finds his revolver, which was lost, in his drawer.
Blore hears a sound from the hallway when he was trying to sleep.
Together, Blore and Lombard go out looking for Armstrong, but they could not find him.
Chapter 15
Blore goes into the house to get some food when a bear clock falls on him from the second story of the house.
Lombard and Vera find Armstrong's dead body laying on the beach.
Chapter 16
Vera insists that Lombard should pull Armstrong's body away from the waves.
When he does this he notices that his pocket feels empty.
He turns around only to see Vera pointing the revolver at him.
Lombard runs, but was shot through the heart by Vera.
Vera goes back to her room in the house and finds a noose hanging from the hook on the ceiling.
She hangs herself just like it said in the poem.
Epilogue
Policeman find ten dead bodies on the island.
Policeman are trying to figure out who was the killer on the island by going through possible events.
Manuscript
A fisherman finds a letter in a bottle written by Justice Wargrave.
The message explains how Justice Wargrave killed everyone including himself.
I think the climax is when Vera hangs herself.
I don't think that Vera's hanging herself is a surprise; it's foreshadowed in the poem. The real twist/turn in the story is when Judge Wargrave gets shot. There is no clear leader after that and the survivors are now even more panicked. From the time Wargrave is shot, the goal is to find the murderer and no one realizes the false clue in the poem. Good job on these assignments! Mrs. M

Read chapter two.
Choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
Each member of your group must write on his or her WIKI page the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.
One example of foreshadowing i found in the second chapter of And Then There Were None was the poem, on page 31, that read,
"Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One cooked himself and then there were nine.
Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian boys traveling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Indian boys played with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Indian boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and four.
Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Indian boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none."
This is an example of foreshadowing because this might happen to all the characters at Indian Island later in the book. In that case, this might explain the death or disappearance of the character.
A second example of foreshadowing is when Vera Claythorne is talking to herself, on page 32, about an incident when someone drown. She said, "Drowned-drowned-drowned.... No, she wouldn't remember.... She would not think of it! All that was over...." This is an example of foreshadowing because maybe later in the book it explains what happened with the drowning incident that she is speaking of.
A third example of foreshadowing is on page 38, when Emily Brent is reading from the Bible. It read, "The heathen are sunk down into the pit that they made: and the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell." This is an example of foreshadowing because is is saying that all the people will die, and as the title says there will be none at the end.
One last example of foreshadowing I found in chapter two, was on page 21. Here General Macarthur, a tall soldierly man, says, "Good-looking fellow. Somethings just a little wrong about him..." He is talking about Philip Lombard. This is an example of foreshadowing because he is saying that Philip Lombard seems suspicious. If anything happens later in the book, I would guess General Macarthur would look to Philip Lombard as a reason to the problem.
You've picked some very good examples of foreshadowing. These add to the plot of the story. Mrs. M

how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?
A mystery novel differs from a narrative because in a mystery novel, there will usually be a lot of suspense, where in a narrative, there will not be as much suspense. In a mystery novel, you will most likely be predicting what is going to happen without even knowing it. The clues in the book will lead you to a good educated guess.
how might the title be a clue to the story?
I think this title indicates that all of the main characters were killed in the story. I think that because when it says in the title, "There Were None" I thought this meant there were no more people.
Good definition or explanation of a mystery - making readers make educated guesses is hopefully what the author does well. Do you have all the necessary links? This page should also be linked to the 'here' page. Mrs. M
